What is the Goal of Tunica Expansion?

The goal of Tunica Expansion is to use small incisions in a mesh pattern without using a graft. This can help facilitate expansion of the penis like how the pleats expand a surgical mask but without compromising the ability of the penis to contain a prosthesis.

When is it Typically Used?

Several conditions can cause penile length and girth loss. Tunica Expansion came about to help you maintain the length of the penis, even after surgery.

Tunica Expansion may be used:

• For those with severe erectile dysfunction (ED) needing penile implant surgery (PPI)
• Men diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease
• Individuals seeking cosmetic enhancement for personal or psychological reasons
• Patients with penile trauma or congenital abnormalities

How Does it Work?

The surgeon can help to maintain or enhance girth and length through a series of small, staggered incisions along the tunica albuginea.

These incisions—vertical for length preservation or enhancement, horizontal for girth preservation or enhancement—facilitate expansion of the penis.

Why It Matters

For many men, penile size, curvature, or function can significantly affect self-esteem, sexual relationships, and overall well-being.

For a long time, shortening of the penis has been an element of patient dissatisfaction with PPI. This advanced technique can solve that issue. It is gaining traction in the realm of penile enhancement surgery, reconstructive urology, and treatments for erectile dysfunction.

What to Expect

Several procedures reporting tunica incisions and concomitant penile prosthesis have been described with favorable functional outcomes.

You can expect a reasonable length gain ranging from 0.8 to 5cm.

However, most of the traditional techniques would require grafting, but this is a non-grafting technique. By increasing the number of incisions, the procedure allows restoration of length and girth through smaller defects, thus promoting a better expansion without the need for grafting.

Talk to Dr. Valenzuela to see if you are a candidate. You will review your medical history, desired outcomes, any medications you are taking, and what to expect before and after surgery.

This technique has been demonstrated to be safe and effective to resolve problems of penile size reduction independently of penile curvature. You can be confident you are getting the latest advancements and surgical techniques.
